Green on debut at Gowran, slow to break and wandering before running on strongly into fourth late on (9.5f); well-held third in cheekpieces over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, where track may not have been ideal; tongue-tie now added; half-brother won on AW.
High-class NH performer, most recently good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; two previous Flat runs were on the Dundalk AW, notably previous month when 2l third of 10 over 1m4f; ground no problem, not sure the tight track will suit.

Lightly raced 4yo ran twice on the AW before improvement in Bellewstown maiden last month over just shy of this trip, not quite getting home on soft ground under a positive ride; considered but stamina doubts.

Ulysses colt didn't run at two but three runs already this term, showing plenty of improvement to land Ballinrobe maiden over this trip eight days ago, making virtually all to win handsomely (good-to-yielding); yard took same route with last year's winner Carmers en route to an Ascot success so demands plenty of respect.

E80,000 Y; fourth foal; half-brother to French 6f/6.5f 2yo winner Voodoo Magic (RPR 95); dam 5f AW 2yo winner (85); speedily-bred 3yo didn't count on last month's debut when midfield in much better-class maiden; entitled to improve for that.

Trojan Fighter owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (58) and market confidence (88). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.
